I went out and gathered the seed pod and the little sprig of wild rose and brought them in out of the wind and cold and played with my macro lens. The background is weeds, several different kinds of dry, dead, weeds.

I picked them like flowers...... well actually I cut them with my scissors because weeds don't "pick" very easy when they are hard, dead, and dry....... then I brought them in and arranged them in a jar, placed it on the table so it would be a background to the little dry seed pod and the wild rose (multiflora) leaves. Now that is one way to do macro when the wind is blowing :)
